The most effective helmet is one that fits properly. To measure your head, have an assistant use a dressmaker's tape or a piece of string to measure the circumference of your head. Start at a point about an inch above your eyebrows, looping around the back of your head at the point that results in the largest measurement, and finally around to the front again. It's a good idea to take two or three measurements to make sure you have the largest one.

SPARCO SKY RF-7W CARBON FIBER HELMET FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ):
Remember that safety is paramount in auto racing, and choosing the right helmet and maintaining it properly is essential for your protection on the track. Always consult with the professionals at Discovery Parts and refer to the manufacturer's guidelines for specific questions about your racing helmet.
Why do I need a Sparco Sky RF-7W Carbon Fiber racing helmet?
Auto racing helmets are designed to protect drivers from head injuries and fire during high-speed races and crashes. They are a crucial safety component in motorsports.
How do I choose the right size Sparco Sky RF-7W Carbon Fiber helmet? You should measure your head's circumference using a flexible tape measure, then refer to the manufacturer's sizing chart to select the appropriate size helmet. Please review our blog posting on how to properly fit your new auto racing helmet from Discovery Parts.
What safety standards should I look for in a racing helmet? Look for helmets that meet safety standards like Snell and FIA depending on your racing discipline. These standards ensure the helmet's safety and quality. DOT helmets are designed for street use and not for racing and track use.
What's the difference between full-face and open-face, and helmets? Full-face helmets provide the most protection with a complete face shield, while open-face helmets cover the top and sides of the head.
Can I use a motorcycle helmet for auto racing? No, motorcycle helmets do not provide the same level of protection as auto racing helmets, as they are designed for different purposes. It's recommended to use a helmet specifically designed for auto racing which includes fire protection in addition to impact protection.
How often should I replace my Sparco Sky RF-7W Carbon Fiber auto racing helmet? Auto racing helmets should be replaced every 5-10 years, depending on the manufacturer's recommendations and usage. If the helmet is involved in a crash, it should be replaced immediately.
Are expensive racing helmets safer than budget ones? Safety standards dictate the minimum safety requirements, so even budget-friendly helmets can offer protection. However it’s important to consider how lower-priced helmets are meeting the required testing standards. More expensive helmets are lighter, smaller, are constructed of superior materials, and often come with additional features then less expensive helmets.
How do I maintain and clean my Sparco Sky RF-7W Carbon Fiber racing helmet? Follow the manufacturer's instructions for cleaning and maintenance. You should clean the exterior, interior and shield with the Molecule Helmet Care Kit.
Do I need to wear a balaclava under my Sparco Sky RF-7W Carbon Fiber racing helmet? Balaclavas are typically not required for Driver's Education events, however they make wearing a helmet much, much more comfortable. Balaclavas will provide fire protection (if fire rated), help keep your helmet lining clean and order free by absorbing the majority of sweat while using it, and additionally balaclavas make putting your helmet on and taking it off by protecting your ears and keeping from from folding over when you helmet is worn. Discovery Parts recommends balaclavas from Alpinestars, OMP, Sabelt, Sparco, and Stand21. If you are entering sanctioned auto racing events, balaclavas will be required for fire protection.
Is the SNELL SA Rating important? The Snell SA2020 certification is a safety standard established by the Snell Memorial Foundation for auto racing helmets. It sets the criteria and requirements that helmets must meet to be considered safe and suitable for use in motorsport events. Snell SA2020 certification is highly regarded in the motorsports industry and is often required or recommended by racing organizations and events. It signifies that a helmet has passed rigorous testing to provide maximum safety for drivers in various motorsport disciplines, including road racing, NASCAR, Formula 1, drag racing, and more. It's essential for drivers to check the specific safety standards required by the racing organizations they participate in to ensure compliance.
Is the FIA helmet certification important? Yes, FIA (Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile) certification is crucial for auto racing helmets, especially in the context of international motorsport events and many national and regional racing series in the USA. The FIA 8859-2015 standard is commonly associated with racing helmets used in various motorsport disciplines. Helmets certified to FIA 8859-2015 met the safety requirements set by the FIA and were widely accepted in many racing series
Which helmet certification is the most stringent and the hardest to meet? The FIA 8860-2018 certification is considered the most stringent and advanced helmet certifications available for auto racing helmets, and it is often associated with top-tier motorsport categories like Formula 1. It's important to note that the FIA 8860-2018 helmets offer a high level of protection and their use is mandatory in many racing series. Drivers should always check the regulations of the racing series they intend to participate in to ensure compliance with helmet certification standards.
Can I wear glasses with my Sparco Sky RF-7W Carbon Fiber helmet? Most helmets have provisions for wearing glasses or goggles, but check the design to be sure. Most manufacturers feature helmet models with wider eye ports to better accommodate eye glasses.
Are carbon fiber helmets better? Carbon fiber helmets are lightweight and strong, a top choice for racers. But remember, certification matters most.

Are expensive racing helmets safer than budget ones?Yes, typically. While both must meet minimum safety standards, premium helmets offer lighter materials, better fit, improved aerodynamics, and enhanced comfort, all of which impact race performance and fatigue.
How do I maintain and clean my kart racing helmet?Clean the exterior and interior using a helmet-specific care product like the Molecule Helmet Care Kit. Avoid submerging the helmet or using abrasive cleaners. Visors should be cleaned gently to avoid scratching.
Do I need to wear a balaclava under my kart racing helmet?While not required for all karting events, a balaclava enhances comfort, keeps your helmet liner clean, and helps wick sweat. Fire-rated balaclavas are mandatory in sanctioned auto racing and recommended for high-performance karting.

CARBOTECH BRAKE COMPOUNDS
Carbotech 1521
The Carbotech 1521 is our high performance street compound. The 1521 compound is known for its release and modulation, along with unmatched rotor friendliness. 1521 is also a very low dusting and low noise compound with an excellent initial bite. This compound's excellent linear torque production provides incredible braking force without ABS intervention.

Carbotechâ 1521â is NOT recommended for ANY track use.
Carbotech AX6
The AX6 is specifically engineered for Autocross applications. A high torque brake compound delivering reliable and consistent performance over a very wide operating temperature range of 50 F to 1000 F + (10 C to 537 C+). The advanced compound matrix provides an excellent initial bite, high coefficient of friction at lower temperatures along with very progressive brake modulation and release characteristics. Many drivers use the AX6 for street driving as well, even though Carbotech doesn't recommend street driving with AX6 due to possible elevated levels of dust and noise. AX6 is NOT recommended as a race compound in most applications.
Carbotech XP8
A high torque brake compound with a wide operating temperature range of 200 F-1250 F+ (93 C to 676 C+). Carbotech XP8 is the first of our racing compounds. Good initial bite at race temperatures, high coefficient of friction, excellent modulation and release characteristics. Extremely high fade resistance and very rotor friendly. Perfect for track day use with any tire and can still be driven safely to and from the track. Carbotech does NOT recommended XP8 as a daily driven street pad due to elevated levels of dust and noise. Carbotech XP8 is a great compound on the front & rear of most open wheel and sports racers.
Carbotech XP10
When Carbotech unleashed the XP10 to the general public it immediately gathered multiple regional, divisional, and national championships. The XP10 has a very strong initial bite with a coefficient of friction and rotor friendliness unmatched in the industry. Fade resistance is in excess of 1475 F (801 C). XP10 still maintains the highly praised release, excellent modulation and rotor friendliness that have made all Carbotech compounds so successful. Carbotech XP10 is not recommended as a daily-driven street pad due to possible elevated levels of dust and noise.
Carbotech XP12
Another highly successful XP series compound with an excellent initial bite, torque and fade resistance over and above the XP10 compound. XP12 has temperature range of 250 F to 1850 F+ (121 C to 1010 C+). The XP12 has that excellent Carbotech release and modulation that has made all other Carbotech compounds so successful. The XP12 is more rotor aggressive than XP10 , but compared to the competition the XP12 is still very rotor friendly. XP12 is NOT recommended for use as a daily driven street pad due to possible elevated levels of dust and noise.

Arai GP-7 SA2020 Auto Racing Helmet
The Arai GP-7 Helmet: Your Head's New Best Bud
Racers, you’ve heard tales whispered in the pits, haven’t you? About that one helmet, the game-changer, the track day’s pièce de résistance? Enter the Arai GP7. This isn't just any auto racing helmet – it's like strapping a penthouse suite onto your noggin. With features so slick, it's like Arai peeked into our racetrack dreams!
Born from racing DNA, the GP-7 comes fully loaded with Arai’s super-secret PBcLc (no, it's not a misplaced bingo callout, it stands for Peripherally Belted Complex Laminate!) shell construction. Yes, folks, that's the same stellar shell shape flaunted by the Formula 1 grade GP-7SRC model. Feel that? It's the sensation of your racing cred skyrocketing.
And while we're on the topic of field of view, the wider eye port is an absolute game-changer, optimizing your peripheral vision. It's kinda like giving your eyes their own luxury box seats at the Grand Prix. Plus, the upgraded ventilation doesn’t just whisper cool breezes – it belts out Arctic gales. Those cheek pads? Like laying your face on a cloud that went to finishing school. And we've got three robust intake vents paired with two exhaust behemoths to ensure you’re the coolest cat on the track.
Here's a sweet nugget for the safety-conscious speed demons out there: the ARAI GP-7 is all prepped with that glorious Snell SA2020 certification and comes factory-installed with M6 washers/nuts, ready for you to attach your Head and Neck Restraint system using a 6mm bolt. Plus, there’s that fancy FIA-8859-2015 certification sticker on the interior liner – it's like a little nod from the big leagues saying, "You've got this!"
So, are you ready to elevate your racing experience and give your head the luxury treatment it deserves? Maybe it's time to stop flirting with the idea and seal the deal.
Shift into gear, hit ‘Add to Cart’, and let the Arai GP-7 be the wingman your head's always dreamed of!
A driver favorite, the Arai GP-7 SA2020 helmet combines the most popular Arai features with new, improved upgrades. The GP-7 is constructed with Arai own PBcLc (Peripherally Belted Complex Laminate) shell construction and the same shell shape as the Formula 1 grade GP-7SRC model. New ventilation, a soft EPS liner, and a wider eye port for optimized peripheral vision are part of this new shell which gives the driver notable strength and flexibility. Replaceable cheek pads make racing comfortable for any driver, as do the three larger, closeable intake vents and two larger exhaust vents on the ventilation system.
The ARAI GP-7 helmet is Snell SA2020 certified with factory-installed M6 washers/nuts. Drivers of any skill level can install their own Head and Neck Restraint system using a 6mm bolt. The FIA-8859-2015 certification sticker is applied to the interior liner of the helmet.
POSITIVE SHIELD LATCH
Simple yet effective, the positive latch mechanism on the GP-7 SA2020 helmet gives the driver solid shield latching, but is seamlessly integrated into the standard shield system for ease of use.
NEW SHIELD PIVOT HARDWARE
The GP-7 SA2020 features new shield pivot hardware with improved aerodynamics based on the updated track slider design. An increased peripheral field of view is featured on the 6 series, which surpasses the 5 series in visibility. The wider eye port, shield, and pivot hardware were all developed on the RC and adapted to the GP-7 SA2020 helmet.
VENTILATION
Increased airflow is key to the GP-7 SA2020 helmet design. This includes bigger, closeable intake vents with large 10mm holes in both front and rear. Larger rear vents also provide better airflow.
M6 ANCHORS
Drivers of all skill levels will appreciate the integrated, pre-installed M6 threaded washer/nut with 6mm threads which accepts a range of Head and Neck Restraint devices. A flat surface area around the mounting nut will let the anchor post base to rest flush along the surface of the helmet and around the full perimeter of the anchor base. FIA-8859-2015 certification sticker applied to the interior liner material.
NEW CHINBAR
The GP-7 SA2020 new, ergonomic chinbar and ridge at the bottom edge of the shell lowers the center of gravity and increases the structural integrity of the helmet. Additional improvements include a rise in the shell above the shoulders for increased clearance.
EJECT READY CROWN PAD
Arai's optional Eject system can be easily accommodated via a pre-cut pocket under the helmet crown pad.
An effective helmet is one that fits properly. Have an assistant use a measuring tape, or a piece of string to measure the circumference of your head starting at a point approximately one inch above the eyebrows in front, around a point in the back of the head that results in the largest possible measurement, and finally wrapping back to the front. It is a good idea to take several measurements to make sure you have the largest one.

ARAI GP-7 AUTO RACING HELMET FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ):

Always consult with the professionals at Discovery Parts and refer to the manufacturer's guidelines for specific questions about your racing helmet.
Why do I need a racing helmet?
Auto racing helmets are designed to protect drivers from head injuries and fire during high-speed races and crashes. They are a crucial safety component in motorsports.
How do I choose the right size Arai GP-7 Auto Racing helmet? You should measure your head's circumference using a flexible tape measure, then refer to the manufacturer's sizing chart to select the appropriate size helmet. Please review our blog posting on how to properly fit your new auto racing helmet from Discovery Parts.

Can I use a motorcycle helmet for auto racing? No, motorcycle helmets do not provide the same level of protection as auto racing helmets, as they are designed for different purposes. It's recommended to use a helmet specifically designed for auto racing which includes fire protection in addition to impact protection.
How often should I replace my Arai GP-7 auto racing helmet? Auto racing helmets should be replaced every 5-10 years, depending on the manufacturer's recommendations and usage. If the helmet is involved in a crash, it should be replaced immediately.
Are expensive racing helmets safer than budget ones? Safety standards dictate the minimum safety requirements, so even budget-friendly helmets can offer protection.

Do I need to wear a balaclava under my Arai GP-7 Auto racing helmet? Balaclavas are typically not required for Driver's Education events, however they make wearing a helmet much, much more comfortable. Balaclavas will provide fire protection (if fire rated), help keep your helmet lining clean and order free by absorbing the majority of sweat while using it, and additionally balaclavas make putting your helmet on and taking it off by protecting your ears and keeping from from folding over when you helmet is worn. Discovery Parts recommends balaclavas from Alpinestars, OMP, Sabelt, Sparco, and Stand21. If you are entering sanctioned auto racing events, balaclavas will be required for fire protection.
Is the SNELL SA Rating important? The Snell SA2020 certification is a safety standard established by the Snell Memorial Foundation for auto racing helmets. It sets the criteria and requirements that helmets must meet to be considered safe and suitable for use in motorsport events.

It signifies that a helmet has passed rigorous testing to provide maximum safety for drivers in various motorsport disciplines, including road racing, NASCAR, Formula 1, drag racing, and more. It's essential for drivers to check the specific safety standards required by the racing organizations they participate in to ensure compliance.
Is the FIA helmet certification important? Yes, FIA (Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile) certification is crucial for auto racing helmets, especially in the context of international motorsport events and many national and regional racing series in the USA. The FIA 8859-2015 standard is commonly associated with racing helmets used in various motorsport disciplines. Helmets certified to FIA 8859-2015 met the safety requirements set by the FIA and were widely accepted in many racing series
Which helmet certification is the most stringent and the hardest to meet? The FIA 8860-2018 certification is considered the most stringent and advanced helmet certifications available for auto racing helmets, and it is often associated with top-tier motorsport categories like Formula 1. It's important to note that the FIA 8860-2018 helmets offer a high level of protection and their use is mandatory in many racing series. Drivers should always check the regulations of the racing series they intend to participate in to ensure compliance with helmet certification standards.

Comes in black and red with 2" shoulder and 2" waist/sub belts. The Schroth Porsche GT3 Enduro 2x2 Harness takes the best features of the best-selling Enduro belt and adds a few improvements. Save time in driver changes with the Schroth Enduro belt with "ZIP Adjusters" that allow for exceptional ease of adjustment (tightening) and release for faster and smoother driver changes. Note: This harness is designed for street cars with Porsche's factory One-Piece Carbon Bucket seats. If you are in a GT3 Cup Car or have a different fixed-back race seat, a standard Enduro will be better suited for your vehicle.
Endurance racing drivers need to be able to get in and out of the car quickly and easily during a race. The Schroth Porsche GT3 Enduro 6 Point Racing Harness uses the newest, most innovative technology available to ensure ease of use during quick driver changes in the most arduous conditions. The Schroth Enduro 6 Point Racing Harness is considered the fastest, easiest harness to use among many drivers. All while maintaining the superior quality and durability for which Schroth is famous.
The Schroth Porsche GT3 Enduro 2x2 Racing Harness has been tested for quality and ease of use in the WEC endurance series and in 24-hour races at legendary venues like Germany’s Nürburgring Nordschleife. The Schroth Enduro 6 Point Harness is at the top of its game, constructed for racers who need superior driver restraint technology. The new design of the ZIP Adjuster is integrated into the lap belt buckle attachments, making the position of the adjusters ideal for quick, precise tightening. This design -- featuring clearly-marked belt release straps, extra large, easy-to-see, yellow hand loops on the lap belts -- also ensures efficient, smooth releases and tightenings for quicker, easier driver changes. The Schroth Enduro 6 Point Racing Harness also has these ZIP Adjusters on the shoulder belts.
MADE ESPECIALLY FOR YOUR PORSCHE
Schroth ups the ante with its Porsche GT3 Enduro 2x2, with sewn-in lap belt attachments specifically for Porsche's OEM carbon bucket seats. The lap belts bolt in simply, without any drilling or other modifications for a factory-installed look. Attachment of the shoulder belts requires the use of a roll bar or harness bar, and the sub straps must be mounted to a sub strap bar beneath the seat.
BUILT FOR ENDURANCE RACING AND BEYOND
The Schroth Enduro 2x2 6 Point Harness is a first choice for endurance racing teams, racing schools, and corporate ride-along venues where transitioning in and out of the race car quickly while maintaining top safety and durability is a winning combination. The Schroth Enduro 2X2 6 point race belt is Schroth's top-of-the-line racing harness for Endurance racing. The Schroth Enduro belt features the widely praised ZIP Adjusters integrated into the lap belt buckle attachments to optimize the position of the adjusters for perfect and fast adjustment. The rotational design of the ZIP Adjusters allows for exceptional ease of adjustment (tightening) and release for faster and smoother driver changes.
The Schroth Enduro 2X2 6 point harness is designed specifically for when fast driver changes are needed in endurance racing. The lap belt straps have large, easy to grab adjuster loops for the easiest adjustment. Newly designed compact aluminum rotary buckle features a quicker, more positive “click” and an ergonomic release lever.
One of the main features of the Enduro 2X2 belt systems is the 2" (50mm) lap belt for added safety over 3" designs. A 2" belt rides within the crest of the human pelvis where a 3" belt would rest on the edges. This allows you to get the belt up to an inch and a half tighter. That means the lap belt will be working earlier in an accident because it gets loaded faster. It's also more comfortable and easier to adjust because there's less friction through the adjuster.
SCHROTH ENDURO 2X2 PORSCHE GT3 SHOULDER BELTS
This is the first thing a Schroth Profi II racer is going to notice - the shoulder belts. Instead of going from 2" from the adjuster up and 3" from the adjuster down, the Enduro 2x2 has a full length 2" wide shoulder belt. At first, being a racer who does not like change, I wanted my same 3/2" shoulder belt. Upon sitting in a race seat and mounting the harness, Schroth actually improved on something I though did not need improvement. They are easy to lay up on my HANS device, are a little lighter, and the new small adjusters are nice. Actually, really nice. I like the new lightweight adjusters better than my Profi II. This is a nice upgrade I did not know needed upgrading. The shoulder belt camlock ends are still keyed (angled) for individual left and right to keep driver comfort at a maximum, no matter how large or small the driver is. We love this feature on all Schroth belts.
SCHROTH ENDURO 2X2 PORSCHE GT3 WAIST BELTS
At first look, you appreciate the technology that Schroth puts into their ZIP adjusters that are part of the slip-in end of the waist belt. Spring loaded, but easy to release. German perfection is found in the Schroth Enduro series harness sets.
Featuring a precise sewn-in waist belt to chassis fitting, the Schroth Porsche waist belt fits perfect. Everything is in the perfect position and legal for all competition you may see, even the 24 Hours of LeMans. We sew the Schroth B43A end on both of the waist belts so installation is like your super car came out of Stuttgart.
Schroth Porsche GT3 Enduro 2x2 Harness Waist Belts 2" vs 3". All Schroth Enduro Belts are 2" (50mm) wide and are more effective that the 3" (75mm) waist belt. Why is 2" webbing more effective than 3" webbing? Let's start looking at the shape of our human body. The Iliac Crest (IC) is the part of the pelvic bone that sticks out above the hips. 2" webbing fits entirely within the recession created by the Iliac Crest where 3" webbing rides over the top of the Iliac Crest. Because of this, the 3" webbing has less contact area by percentage than the 2" webbing which will cause more bruising during an impact where the belt is making contact with the pelvic bone. Since the 2" webbing rides inside the Iliac Crest, it can be worn as much as 1" to 1.5" tighter and at the same time is more comfortable for the driver.
Since the 2" webbing fits well within the Iliac Crest of the pelvis, it is less likely to slide up above the crest and cause submarining, a condition where the body slides down below the lap belt possibly causing internal organ damage.Research shows that the faster the pelvis is captured, the lower the resultant loads on the chest, head, and neck. There is no difference in the strength of the 2" webbing vs the 3" webbing. All webbing - 2" or 3" - must meet the same FIA homolgation test loads.There is an additional benefit of the 2" lap belts. The required force to properly and tightly adjust the belts in the car is much easier than with 3" belts. We at DiscoveryParts love and prefer the Schroth 2" waist belt system.
Schroth Porsche GT3 Enduro 2x2 Harness Camlock: different or the same? The buckle looks like our old reliable Schroth Profi cam lock in non-glare matte black, and looks and feels the same externally. The only upgrade is a different amount of force required to turn the buckle. It is solidly positioned and has a very sharp snap when releasing. Nothing too drastic, if you start turning the camlock (in either direction) it just is tight, tight, tight, and boom - released. Actually there is no boom, it just releases cleanly.
Schroth Porsche GT3 Enduro 2x2 Harness Sub Belt: safety is #1 with Schroth and comfort is elevated beyond any other harness competitor. Going back to safety, the buckle position is not just important, but paramount. For the loading of the belts to be properly spread over your pelvis, Iliac crest, and upper torso, we need the buckle to be positioned correctly on the driver. To help position the belt easily the first time and quickly fine-tune the position for a multiple driver car, Schroth added two adjusters for you. Sub-belt install time of a Schroth harness is 70% less than competitor harness sets.
